Statements in this presentation concerning the Company’s goals, strategies, and expectations for business and financial results may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current indicators and expectations. Whenever you read a statement that is not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when we describe what we "believe," "expect," or "anticipate" will occur, and other similar statements), you must remember that our expectations may not be correct, even though we believe they are reasonable. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You should review this presentation with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the applicable statements. Such risks include:
(1) Changes in the markets for the Company’s business segments
(2) Changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes
(3) Unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases
(4) Competitive pressures on sales and pricing
(5) Raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs
(6) Harsh weather conditions
(7) Future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world
(8) Inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements
(9) Claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company
(10) Changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company
(11) The Company’s ability to execute the components of its Strategic Business Evolution process
Myers Industries, Inc. encourages investors to learn more about these risk factors. A detailed explanation of these factors is available in the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports, which can be found online at www.myersind.com and at the SEC.gov web site.

Also numbers may be rounded for presentation purposes. Note on Reconciliation of Income and Earnings Data: Income (loss) excluding the items mentioned above in the text of this release and in this reconciliation chart is a non-GAAP financial measure that Myers Industries, Inc. calculates according to the schedule above, using GAAP amounts from the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that the excluded items are not primarily related to core operational activities. The Company believes that income (loss) excluding items that are not primarily related to core operating activities is generally viewed as providing useful information regarding a company's operating performance. Management uses income (loss) excluding these items as well as other financial measures in connection with its decision-making activities. Income (loss) excluding these items should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) before taxes or other consolidated income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's method for calculating income (loss) excluding these items may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.
